Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: The first think that grabs the voters eye and makes them take notice is sharp focus. You look a little on the soft side here, and I am pretty sure that this was one aspect that pulled your score down.

Lighting: I like the mood you created with your lighting. Somehow, it fits very nicely with the working subject you have included.

Composition/Content: I like your initial composition, but the lettering needs some work. I think that I would have gone with a bolder font, and I absolutely would have left off that stroking of the letters.

My Opinion: You started with a neat idea and a great 'band' name. This one just needed a bit better execution in a few areas.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

The first and some say the best Danish ska band, the Poultry League was thought to have sold out in this, their major label debut. By singing in English, they were considered merely a novelty act by Americans. The title song turned into a very popular dance at Frat parties. Dancers would take turns in the center of crazed flappers, and would have to kiss the fifth chicken they counted.

love the choice of words but i think the picture to go along with it could have been hilarious 6

Interesting idea, and although I actually think you intended the effect, something about the blurred, underlit subject doesn't do it for me.

Lovely cool colors, very smooth. The crop is a bit tight for me, and I'm not digging the font, It clashes with the soothing colors.

You'll probably get dinged for not having the "band name" on the album, but I like the idea and the picture.
